NCT ID: NCT06134310 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorder

Efficacy of Manual Therapy Based on the Fascial Distortion Model in Individuals With Temporomandibular Disorder

Start date: November 7, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of Manual Therapy Based on the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) by comparing it with Core Stabilization Training (CST) or Control in individuals with temporomandibular disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the efficacy of the addition of FDM-based Manual Therapy to conventional therapy different from the addition of CST or control? - Is the efficacy of the addition of CST to conventional therapy different from the addition of FDM or control? All participants in the intervention groups will be given eight-week conventional therapy (Rocabado Exercises and Patient Education) in addition to FDM-based Manual Therapy or CST. Participants in the control group will not be given any therapy during the study. Pain intensity, TMD severity, head posture, function, and disability will be assessed.

NCT ID: NCT06023264 Recruiting - Whiplash Clinical Trials

Evaluate the Effect of Dry Needling on the Temporomandibular Joint in Subjects Who Have Suffered a Whiplash as a Result of a Traffic Accident

Start date: September 29, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The transportation industry is growing rapidly and the most popular mode is overland by road. Traffic accidents are the most direct and serious risk to the lives of Western people. A large number of traffic accidents occur on the roads each year, especially those caused by motor vehicles on motorways and urban ring roads, often resulting in massive loss of life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.35 million people die each year worldwide. Whiplash is the most common injury in motor vehicle collisions, affecting 83% of injured people. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the human body, since in addition to performing functions in dental occlusion, it does so in the neuromuscular system. Due to the relationship of the neck with the mandible, the main objective of the study is to determine if there is an improvement in pain and functional limitation in general by applying the dry needling technique in the temporomandibular joint musculature.

NCT ID: NCT05989217 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Conservative Therapies in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders

Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The present study was designed to compare the effects of the mixed occlusal device using the simplified technique and the low-intensity laser alone or in combination in patients with temporomandibular disorders. A total of 96 patients will be selected after the diagnosis of TMD according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorder (DC/TMD), axis I. Patients will be randomly divided into three groups: Occlusal Device (N=32), Laser (N=32) =32) and Occlusal Device and Laser (N=32). Patients undergoing therapy with a stabilizing plate made using the simplified technique will be instructed to use the device every night while sleeping for four weeks. Photobiomodulation will be applied with low-intensity laser at predetermined points and at specific trigger points identified during the clinical examination (3 J/cm2) once a week for four weeks. The intensity of pain will be classified using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Mandible function will be assessed by maximum unassisted mouth opening. The impact of therapies on oral health will also be evaluated through the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) instrument in a simplified form. The ANOVA test will be used to compare the results obtained between the study groups, while the Repeated Measurements Anova test complemented by the Tukey test will be used for longitudinal evaluation of the data within each group.

It will be evaluate the safety of mesenchymal stem cells and adipose tissue derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in temporomandibular joint disease cases.

NCT ID: NCT05068908 Recruiting - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

Brain Connectivity Patterns in Chronic Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Start date: March 2, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study addresses the timely problem of painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD), the most common cause of orofacial pain second only to tooth pain. Findings from previous studies suggest that dysregulation of connectivity within specific brain circuits is part of chronic pain pathophysiology. This study will identify connectivity patterns within those brain circuits as potential signatures for pain- related disability in chronic TMD pain participants. New knowledge regarding these brain connectivity patterns is expected to be significant because it will support improved phenotyping of this heterogeneous participant population. It is also expected that this finding can potentially be extrapolated to other chronic pain conditions, such as back pain, migraine headache, and fibromyalgia that are frequently comorbid conditions in chronic TMD participants.

NCT ID: NCT04982601 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

NCT ID: NCT03403998 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Temporomandibular Disorders

Neck Exercises in Patients With Temporomandibular Disorders

Start date: January 17, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a common reason to seek medical treatment. Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are MSK disorders that affect the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint, and related structures in the neck and head. Current research showed that people with chronic TMDs have structural and functional brain changes that may contribute to chronic pain development and maintenance. Therapeutic exercise is a central component in treating chronic MSK conditions. New therapies, including exercise, appear to have potential in targeting cortical changes to improve clinical outcomes. However, mechanisms of action are not well understood, and evidence is limited to a few weak studies and specific populations. Evidence from our research group highlights neck exercise as potentially useful in treating TMDs. However, we do not yet know how the brains of women with TMD respond to specific exercise and whether these changes relate to decreased pain, improved function, and quality of life. Evidence linking brain plasticity, pain modulation, and exercise therapy is currently limited, and non-existent for people with TMDs. Objectives: In women with chronic TMD pain, we will:1) determine the impact of motor control training using visual feedback (MCTF) on clinical outcomes such as pain intensity and jaw disability, 2) assess the impact of MCTF on brain structure, using diffusion tensor imaging, 3) assess the impact of MCTF on brain networks, using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging, and 4) determine the effectiveness of MCTF to restore normal muscular structure, performance and fatigability of neck cervical muscles, using electromyographic analysis. Methods: Women with chronic TMD pain will be randomized to either an intervention arm or a placebo control group. Women in the intervention arm will receive 8 weeks of progressive exercise MCTF of the cervical muscles, twice per week. Women in the placebo arm will receive innocuous transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (turn off). Our primary outcomes will be changes in 1) pain, measured with the Visual Analogue Scale, 2) brain structure and networks, measured by fractional anisotropy (brain structure) and the blood-oxygen-level dependent signal (brain networks). Outcomes will be measured at baseline, after 8 weeks of treatment, and 4 months after treatment ends. Results will directly inform and guide clinicians in prescribing more effective interventions for women with TMD
